Reported speech: Practice of tenses
她说: \'我喜欢冰淇淋\'。 =
这是个 \'direct speech\' - 这里我们在将说者的话转述给别人。
因为说者自称 \'I\',因此转述的时候也得保留\'I\'。

当转述别人的话的时候,转述的部分要用 \'inverted commas\'括起来。
She said (that) she liked ice-cream. = 她说她喜欢冰淇淋。
这是个 \'direct speech\' - 这里我们在用自己的话将说者的话转述给别人。
因为说者自称\'she\' (3rd person),因此转述的时候也得称呼她为\'she\'。
I said, 'I am the best student of the class' = 我说,我是班上最好的学生。

I said (that) I was the best student of the class
= 我说,我曾是班上最好的学生。
这里你是在重复自己说过的话,说者是你自己(I)。
因此转述时 \'Personal pronoun - I\'保持不变。因为现在正在用自己的话转述,所以不能自称\'I\'。
She told Wang Jing, \'You are pretty\' = 她对Wang Jing说, \'你很漂亮\'。
因为前半句包含了Direct speech,因此这里在转述说者的话。
She told Wang Jing that she was pretty = 她告诉Wang Jing她很漂亮。
这里要做出 You -> She\'的变动,因为你转述时, Wang Jing 对你已经是 3rd person(第三人称)了。
在 Reported speech中Wang Jing不是2nd person,因为你在直接和她对话。
Guo Wei said, \'I work in Beijing.\' = Guo Wei 说,\'我在北京工作。\'
Direct Speech: Guo Wei said, \'I work in Beijing.\'
Guo Wei said (that) he worked in Beijing = Guo Wei说他在北京工作。
\'Reported speech\': 这里要做 \'work-> worked\'的转变,因为转述中的 \'verb\' 是过去式。当将\'direct speech\' 变为 \'reported speech\'时,如果 \'reported speech\' \'(如said)\' 是过去时,那么\'reported speech\'在 \'direct speech\'中的\'tense\'也要变成过去时。.

有些时候\'tense\'不用变,这是当转述的内容在现在是事实,或者是个\'universal truth\'的时候 \'(eg: The Sun is a star)\'。
'I boil the water before drinking, he said.' 选择正确的转述句。;
He said that he is boiling the water before drinking.

'I always drink coffee, she said.' 选择正确的转述句。;

=
当转换成\'Reported speech\'时\'tense\'要依照\'reported verb (says, said, told, said to)\'进行变化。
